Kinondo Kwetu, Kenya

Located on protected land beside a stunning beach near the coastal resort of Diani, South of Mombasa, Kinondo Kwetu consists of six suites, three cottages, one beach house and a family villa. With room for only 38 guests the property is certainly exclusive, but manages to retain a welcoming, family-run charm with first-class personalised service.

Kinondo Kwetu is home to Ida and Filip Andersson, a Swedish Family who've established this luxury 'home-from-home' paradise on the stunning Kenyan coast.
